  1. Hip Hop
  2. - Crunk
  3. - Dirty South
  4.  
  5. - Gangsta Rap (need a way to distinguish purely lyrical genres vs purely production genres. Perhaps an attribute/checkbox. This would also extend outside of Hip Hop. Either way not hardcore)
  6. - Horrorcore
  7.  
  8. - Hardcore HH (redefining this as purely production-based)
  9. -- Hardcore Trap
  10. -- Hardcore Boom Bap
  11. -- Britcore
  12. -- Mid-School HH
  13. -- Trap Metal
  14. -- Chicago Drill?
  15.  
  16. - Boom Bap
  17. -- Hardcore Boom Bap (separation for the post-90s Boom Bap stuff that isn't hardcore)
  18.  
  19. - Cloud Rap
  20. -- Trillwave
  21.  
  22. - Buck
  23. -- Memphis Rap
  24. --- Dungeon Rap
  25.  
  26. - Trap
  27. -- Trapsoul / Melodic Trap
  28. -- Phonk
  29. -- Chicago Drill
  30. -- Bop
  31. -- Dark Trap (BMB-style, not Wave)
  32. -- Trap Metal
  33. -- Tread
  34. -- Plugg
  35. --- PluggnB
  36. -- Surge
  37. -- Minimalist Trap (DaBaby/Megan-esque stuff that's just a 4/4 snare beat, 2-3 note piano line, and simple bass. Definitely needs a better name)
  38. -- Hardcore Trap (not just all Trap that's hardcore, it's for a very specific production style that you hear Waka and Kevin Gates on all the time. Characterised by heavy, rolling snares, chimes, and blasting MIDI horn sounds. Could use a better name but sources are needed)
  39. -- Crushed Trap (there are examples that are not hexD or Surge)
  40.  
  41. - Psych Rap (good luck ever passing this. specifically for the Travis Scott/Kid Cudi/Kids See Ghosts approach to psych rap that's cloud rap and neo-psych-adjacent)
  42. - Punk Rap (good luck ever passing this or defining it outside of Carti and Uzi)
  43. - Art Rap / Backpacker Rap (tons of sources, tons of history, very ideosyncratic sound. No idea how this hasn't been submitted yet)
  44. - Hypnagogic Rap (decent sources for the slums sound + Standing on the Corner, but not much for Lo-NY and almost none for Hypnagogic Rap. Very clear sound but the edge cases. Viper would fall under this clearly but a lot would not be happy about another retroactive Viper tag)
  45.  
  46. Contemporary R&B
  47. - Trapsoul / Melodic Trap
  48.  
  49. Electronic
  50. - hexD
  51. - Nightcore
  52. - Trillwave (the more Chillwave-adjacent Cloud Rap that's very electronic. Clams and early Carti are the poster for this)
  53. - Wave (might need to remove the Dark Trap aka if duplicates aren't allowed)
  54.  
  55. Sound Manipulation ([meta]? This probably runs into Technique territory which should be a separate set of objects)
  56. - Chopped & Screwed (isnt just anything slowed down)
  57. - Florida Fast Music (isnt just anything sped up)
  58. - Nightcore (isnt just anything sped up)
  59. - hexD
  60.  
  61. Trap [meta]
  62. - Trap [EDM]
  63. - Vaportrap
  64. - Trap
  65. - Memphis Rap
  66. -- Dungeon Rap
  67. - UK Drill?
  68. * (a lot of Crunk and Dirty South belongs under here but not all, and the stuff that does is not really a unique subgenre. This is part of why the genre system needs to be reworked so that there can be primary and secondary parents + metas and movements are shown in a separate set of voting boxes)
  69.  
  70. Drill [meta]
  71. - Chicago Drill
  72. -- Ghana Drill (scene)
  73. - UK Drill
  74.  
  75. Hypnagogia [movement]
  76. - Hypnagogic Pop
  77. - Hypnagogic Drone (Ferraro/KWJAZ, maybe Hypnagogic Ambient instead? There's a lot of overlap between them, not sure which is more common or well-defined)
  78. - Hypnagogic Rap
  79.  
  80. Psychedelia [movement]
  81. - Hypnagogic Pop
  82. - Neo-Psych
  83. -- Hypnagogic Drone?
